What is consumption disease, also known as tuberculosis, is a bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It primarily affects the lungs but can also affect other parts of the body. Symptoms include persistent cough, weight loss, fever, and fatigue. Consumption disease spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Overcrowded living conditions, poor ventilation, and weakened immune systems increase the risk of contracting the disease. Early detection and treatment with antibiotics are crucial for managing consumption disease. Additionally, preventive measures such as vaccination and proper hygiene can help reduce the spread of this infectious illness.
